Hi everyone, I'm curious to know what may be going on with my friends 2014 Jetta tdi. I've done the last 3 or 4 oil changes for him, including one today, and the oil filters I've been putting in have been coming out quite twisted... At least, the last 2 have, and pretty sure the ones before that also came out twisted. The cars last few oil changes have been on average, 17000km interval, which is quite a lot, but, this car has been getting its oil changed every 6 months as its been driven alot, and I've always put either mobile 1 Esp 5w30 or pennzoil euro lx 0w30, along with either Mann, mahle, or hengst filters.
So with that said, I suppose the extended interval could of course be a contributing factor, but, today's oil change was done with only 12400km on last filter and roughly 8 months ago, and the filter was still twisted... The picture below shows the latest oil filter in question which was a Mann filter, and the oil that came out was mobil 1 5w30 Esp
